    Parasitic computing exploits standard internet communication protocols to force servers and computers to unknowingly perform computations for remote nodes. It transforms the internet into a distributed computer by making target machines solve parts of complex problems through normal communication. This raises questions about ownership of internet resources and challenges current computing paradigms. The purpose of discussing parasitic computing is to raise awareness of issues around it before exploitation and bring attention to vulnerabilities so ramifications can be addressed.

    Parasitic computing

    Parasitic computing is an example of a potential technology that could be viewed


    simultaneously as a threat or healthy addition to the online universe. On the Internet,
    reliable communication is guaranteed by a standard set of protocols, used by all
    computers. These protocols can be exploited to compute with the communication
    infrastructure, transforming the Internet into a distributed computer in which servers
    unwittingly perform computation on behalf of a remote node. In this model, one
    machine forces target computers to solve a piece of a complex computational problem
    merely by engaging them in standard communication.

    Parasitic computing raises important questions about the ownership of the resources
    connected to the Internet and challenges current computing paradigms. The purpose of
    this work is to raise awareness of the existence of these issues, before they could be
    exploited. By this work it will bring the Internet's various existing vulnerabilities to
    the attention of both the scientific community and the society at large, so that the
    ethical, legal and scientific ramifications raised by it can be resolved.
